Passage 1（2018．河北）

Artificial intelligence( AI)（人工智能）is growing rapidly. We are living in a world that depends more and more on AI. AI is a group of technologies that help machines get, understand and use information to do tasks.

AI's recent developments have got a lot of social attention. Some people have welcomed AI because it makes things possible. For example, AI will have a big influence on areas like medicine and engineering. But this attention has also produced a lot of fear. Especially, many workers are worrying that AI could make them lose their jobs.

According to a recent study, nearly five percent of jobs will disappear because of AI. In some industries,AI is already doing the work that people used to do, such as assembling（装配）cars, digging the coal and lifting goods. Self- driving cars and trucks controlled by AI will also take away the driver's jobs in the future.

On the other hand, AI will also create many new jobs for people. More people will be needed to write programmes for AI systems（系统）and they will set up and work on them, too. Meanwhile, jobs that require feelings, excellent communication skills with people will not be replaced（取代）by AI. These includes jobs in fields like teaching, nursing and personal training.

AI is here. It is changing how people live and work in many ways. That makes AI important to watch, not to fear.

Passage 2（2018．江西）

Is there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies the answer is yes:（1）Here, we look at two examples.

A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person's hearing ability. （2）The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly.

（3）Think about violinists in an orchestra(管弦乐团). When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds.In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.

Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke (中风)patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names,addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. （4） Why does this work? Schlaug isn't sure. Music seems to make different parts of the brain work, including the damaged

(损坏的) parts. This might help patients to use that part of the brain again.

Music improves concentration (注意JJ ) , memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities.（5） Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp (敏锐IYJ) as we get older. Music is not only enjoyable, it's also good for us in many other ways.

A.It can even help sick people get better.

B. Music helps people solve some hearing problems.

C. Music improves certain language abilities in the brain.

D. The violinists develop their memories by playing the violin.

E. Musicians hear better because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds.

F. Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to speak.

G. In his study two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room.

"Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany,you walk,but you soon learn to like it.

Meanwhile, in America, Mike, a German boy, was also forming his idea. "I suppose I should criticize(批评) American schools," he said. "It is far too easy by our level.（5）In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities.I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There should be some middle ground between the two. "

Passage 9(2018 .长沙)

In Hebei, there is a small village called Yeli. Through the

village, you can see green trees along the riverbank. However,

you can hardly imagine that, about 16 years ago, this area was

covered with rocks and weeds (杂草). The big change is all because

of years of hard work by two best friends:Jia Haixia, who is blind,

and Jia Wenqi, who has no arms.

The two friends decided to plant trees to make a living back in 2002. Although both are disabled, they learned to work together by becoming each other's eyes and hands. With little money to buy young trees, they had to collect and plant cuttings (插枝,插条). Every morning, they went to the riverbank together.Jia Wenqi walked in the front and Jia Haixia followed him by holding one of his friend's empty sleeves(衣袖 ) . After they arrived at the riverbank,Jia Haixia would climb on his friend's shoulders to get cuttings and Jia Wenqi would tell him which cuttings were the best. After that, they dug holes on the ground and watered the cuttings together.

They planted 800 trees in the first year, but only two survived(存活). They didn't

give up.Instead, they continued to plant more in the next few years. The riverbank is now home to over ten thousand trees.

Today, the two friends no longer need to make a living by planting trees,but they have no plans to stop. They aim to plant as many trees as possible in the area so as to protect the village from flooding (洪水) and to improve the local environment. 1. Where did the story take place?
